INTRODUCTION

This frame was designed to help manage the electronic components required for the Official Voron Switchwire. This will allow for flexible mounting locations of each component and depending on board used even orientation (horizontal or vertical).

THE DESIGN

This frame was designed to allow users their own freedom as to where they would like to install electronic boards within their Voron Switchwire build. There are many boards that are supports across all of the EMS boards that have been released and best of all they are all cross compatible with the new mount designs. Check FT EMS Mounts Repository for all boards currently supported. If the board you have is not supported do reach out and mounts will be released.

BOM

This mod does need to be printed on a bed that is capable of printing 280mm. The parts are recommended to be printed in ABS or ASA if you are building an enclosed printer but can also be printed in PLA or PETG for those looking to do an open conversion assuming that you are not printing with the bed temp above 80.  All parts are oriented correctly to just slice and print. Supports are required to print the board mounts.

Additional parts necessary are: -

Single piece electronics frame

1. 6 x M5x8 BHCS screws to mount the frame
2. 4 x M5 T Nuts to secure the frame to the extrusions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

EMS is designed to be extremely flexible as to let the user decide what hardware to use on the printer. Therefore we have created a mounts repository where power supply, controller board, expansion board and single board computers (Raspberry Pi) mounts are stored. Please visit our mounts repository to download universal cable ducts and mounts for the hardware you intend to install - https://www.printables.com/model/558357-ft-ems-mounts-repository

Which hex mounts do I need? Here is a breakdown of what each are used for: -

1. Mount A = hole directly in the center of the hex and the screw is inserted from the mount side
2. Mount B = hole is with a 5mm offset and the screw is inserted from the mount side. Depending on which direction you need the offset you can rotate the hex so its actually 5mm offset in 6 directions!
3. Mount C = Cable tie in the center of the hex in the vertical orientation
4. Mount D = Cable tie in the center of the hex in the horizontal orientation
5. Mount E = These are used for electronic mounts that have a heat insert in them. The screw will go through the center of the hex from behind into the mount. These are typically used for SSR and some PSU mounts.
6. Mount F = These are used for electronic mounts that have a heat insert in them. The screw will go through the center of the hex from behind into the mount. These are typically used for SSR and some PSU mounts.
7. EMS Bolt = this is used for awkward mounts and load into the channel on the electronics mount with an M3 heat thread insert preloaded. These work in combination of Mount E and F.
